5. Juicebox (I loooooove cranking this up in my car)

and all the others...
The Strokes make me sad, they were touted as THE band of the 00s and they just never lived up to it. Is This It was a brilliant garage rock record then after that they were just mediocre, I hope they produce something special with their 4th album but I highly doubt it.

I never quite understood why anyone considered them THE band...I love "Is This It", but it was hardly a groundbreaking album. It was entertaining, but hardly fit the bill for my "best of 2001" list.

I can see why they were considered THE band. Even though bands like Muse and The White Stripes were better, The Strokes had that cool Indie New Yorker thing going on, I wasn't really into music back then but on hindsight they could've been really good if it wasn't for 2 mediocre follow up albums.

Meh. It's forgettable. I have a feeling their 4th album will be the worst of the lot

IIRC they were touted as the next fuc‎cking huge band, they make their great first album then started to suck
